This question should be deleted because when I asked it I didn’t realize that item_meta values are things added with wc_add_order_item_meta(). But I didn’t see a way to delete the question, or even to contact the forum moderators.

Working more with this, there’s a much bigger issue. After putting all the styles into the Print-O-Matic settings, the certificate prints ok on my computer, but not on someone else’s. The certificate will be displayed by users of the system. They then need to be able to print the certificate on their computer, which will not have your plugin installed.

Thanks. The 2000 delay got the image to print. There are still a couple of issues, though. First, the page (link given above) has all the styles embedded but the Print-O-Matic plugin doesn’t see them. I had to copy the CSS into the Custom Print Page Style box in the settings.

Second, the font for the Certificate of Authentication line is the Google font “Pinyon Script.” I added it to my WordPress install with the Easy Google Fonts plugin. But the Print-O-Matic plugin doesn’t seem able to find it, though I included it in the Custom Print Page Style box:

h4 { color: #dd9933; font-family: ‘Pinyon Script’; font-size: 40px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; }

This is not a big deal for me because I can make the top image of the logo include this script line, but I though you might want to know the issue.

Thanks for your help

Thanks. OK, the shortcode line is now

<?php echo do_shortcode("[print-me target='#certificate']"); ?>

and Close After Print is unchecked.

Thanks for your help.

Is anyone still out there?

Ok. How do I turn off “Close After Print.” It’s not something I set on purpose.

Thanks

Thanks John. The problem was that the text I dumped into the content editor was something I copied from an email, and it must have contained some strange embedded characters that the plugin didn’t like. When I ran the text through Notepad the <p>s showed up and I was able to style it.
Thanks for responding.

Hi Tobias,

I like the idea of the filter hook at tablepress_table_render_data, but I suspect I’m still blocked because the table that you build will have the static number of rows. But I don’t know the actual number of rows in the table until I see how many records come back from the query. Before I give up I wanted to check one last time with you to see if you see anyway to add one or more rows to the table as it’s being built.

Thanks,
Steve

Assuming I can get the data from the database is there some way I can poke it into the cells as PHP is building the page, maybe some function like set($data, $row, $col); ?

Thanks

‘Sorry for not including more detail. Yes, I’m using WooCommerce.

After thinking more about this, though, it seems like what I want to do – add people who buy something automatically to a MailChimp list – is not really permitted. You need people’s permission to add them to a list and just buying something doesn’t give that permission. It seems that what I need to do is put one of the MailChimp forms on the site where people specifically ask to be put on my mailing list.

Ok, but just so I’m clear what is the period over which the data is currently collected, and when is it reset?

I read the article you linked to but after 11 years the links to the working examples are dead. I get the idea though. The gist is that the original HTML image map is not the best way to do this and it describes a CSS method for doing it. But letting people roll over parts of an image to show other images in not what’s being criticized in the article, just the old usemap way of doing it.

This still seems to be a very nice way to let users interact with your web page. If it’s a good idea to have things happen when you click an image, why not when you roll over an image, or roll over a certain part of an image?

There’s actually a very easy way to do this today. A new website builder, Zackel, pulls this off with no effort:

1. Drag the group image onto the canvas.

2. Drag the image of the person you want to highlight onto the canvas and put it wherever you want. Then right click the image to give it a name (“sue”).

3. Double-click the canvas to create a box, size the box to just fit around Sue’s head in the group photo and drag the box over Sue’s head.

4. Right-click the box to bring up its helper and in the “When rolled over pop up” field put “sue”.

That’s it! Now on the published page when you roll over Sue’s head in the group photo, her picture appears where you placed it.

I posted here to see if WordPress had the feature, and it doesn’t look like it. In fact, none of the template site builders can do it, as far as I can tell.

Thanks.

I have a picture of a group of people and when I roll over one person I’d like a larger picture of that person to pop up, with a caption giving their name and other information. Or I might have a picture shot inside an antique store and when you roll over items a larger image of the item pops up showing the price.

Why is this an outdated practice?

Thanks
